Microsoft has yet to announced any new Xbox 360 titles to join the ever expanding Xbox One backwards compatibility library this week, but the service has come under a lot of fire from PS4 bosses.

The PlayStation 4 does not offer backwards compatibility support in quite the same way that the Xbox One does, and comments from PlayStation Europe boss Jim Ryan suggested that backwards compatibility is a much-requested, but hardly ever used feature of consoles.

"When we've dabbled with backwards compatibility, I can say it is one of those features that is much requested, but not actually used much," Ryan told Time.

"That, and I was at a Gran Turismo event recently where they had PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 games, and the PS1 and the PS2 games, they looked ancient, like why would anybody play this?"

In response Ars Technica conducted an in-depth analysis of Xbox Live user data and beileves that there is indeed a corraolation between the Sony exec's sentiment, at least when it comes to Microsoft's competing consoles.

"According to Ars Technica, only 1.5 percent of the time spent on Xbox One- which currently offers backward compatibility on select Xbox 360 games- is spent on actually using said feature." explains USGamer.com

"It's literally the last thing people use an Xbox One for behind playing Xbox One games (54.7 percent), watching Netflix (16.6 percent), Non-Game Apps (14.1 percent), "TV" App (6.7 percent), and YouTube (6.6 percent)."

In more positive news, Xbox Game Pass launched last week on June 1st with 100+ Games and while the stand out titles come from the Xbox One catalogue, it also features plenty of Xbox 360 games playable thanks to Microsoft's backwards compatibility feature.

"On Thursday, June 1st, Xbox Game Pass will be available for all users. That means anyone with an Xbox Live account can start their 14-day free trial and play over 100 games," a Microsoft Spokesperson told Daily Star Online.

"We know that a gaming subscription service is only as good as its catalogue of titles, so we’re also excited to share the full lineup of Xbox One and Backward Compatible Xbox 360 games that will be available through Xbox Game Pass.

"At launch and beyond, our goal is to make sure there are great games to play for all gamers."

If you're not willing to buy the games outright, Xbox Game Pass could be the perfect solution. Just make sure the Xbox 360 game you want to play is available as part of the subscription.

Looking towards the future, Mike Ybarra the Director of Program Management said that this year's new Microsoft console, Xbox Scorpio, would look to include Backwards compatibility.

In addtition Xbox Head Phil Spencer had suggested that the team could look at the prospect of bringing original Xbox games into the fold for backwards compatibility and this could be a new feature of Scorpio, bolstering the catelogue of games even further.

Phil Spencer has also provided more details on how the backwards compatibility service would work on Project Scorpio as we get closer to launch.

But with the most recent release of Scorpio specs from Digital Foundry Xbox users have been given some even better info.

According to the Xbox hardware team, Xbox users existing library of games will run "smoother, look better and load faster" on Xbox One Scorpio.

No doubt as we edge closer to the 2017 Holiday release, we'll learn more about how these services might work.
